Kitty was voiced by Sonia Owens in the original dub, though she was not credited. She says she used to live by the River, before hunters came and killed her parents, and her only relative is her uncle, King Specklerex. (This would actually make her royalty, which would explain her ladylike compusure.) Even in her first appearance, Claw is obviously smitten by her lovely looks, and tries to make her his queen when she gets older when she is on her way to her uncle's mountain. She easily rebuked this idea, and meets Kimba after he saves her. She is obviously deeply in love with him, but will not admit it, and is very disappointed when she has to leave the Jungle.

Kitty appears much as she did in the Onward, Leo series, as Kimba (Leo)'s mate and mother of his cubs. She is called Lyra, however. She shows the same fire she is known for in most adaptions, standing up to the elephant Pagoola. She is shown to be a caring mother and loving mate. She is seen caring for the animals injured in the fire and those that catch the sickness which eventually kills her.
